We are excited to announce that makers can now visualize and manage existing tables<\/strong> in the ERD table designer, data workspace<\/strong>! Now, instead of starting from scratch, you can use your existing tables to build more robust data models. Once you\u2019ve assembled your tables, the enhanced ERD view will allow you to review your existing and new tables side-by-side more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Overview<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This update and other data workspace features are now available in 20 languages<\/strong> worldwide. These include English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Czech, Finnish, Greek, Korean, Norwegian (Bokm\u00e5l), Polish, Russian, Swedish, Thai, and Turkish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build data model with existing tables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can now add existing tables to your workspace either manually or with Copilot recommendations<\/strong>. Copilot will suggest the most relevant tables based on the set of tables currently in your workspace. Additionally, when working within a solution, you can also filter to show only tables in current solution<\/strong>, promoting better ALM practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manage existing tables in the enhanced ERD view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ERD view and interaction of data workspace have also been enhanced to streamline the management of your data model. You can now review column details<\/strong> about your tables, as well as to show and hide columns and relationships of your tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limitations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While we are working on enabling a full editing experience of existing table within data workspace, currently you can only add existing tables to data workspace in read-only <\/strong>mode. To edit existing table, you will need to open the table in a new tab. This also means that you will not be able to create one-to-many relationships to existing table in the data workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
